HI guys,
I am having some problems with the game Reaper of Souls and I can't quite figure out my problem.
Before RoS came out, I was able to play Diablo 3 at maximum setting ( high smooth shadow, high everything, vsync, anti-aliasing) with no problems at all, including massive battles. My fps kept at a steady 60 fps with occasional drop to 45 fps.
However, after RoS is released, I started noticing considerable fps drops to 10-30 fps in game during massive battles ( and by massive I mean 5 players using all their spells the same time with minions all over the screen). However, this ONLY happens when I enter a massive fight.
At first I thought maybe either my CPU bottle necking, but my cpu usage never exceeds 20%.(Sits at 60c when I run the game)
In addition, my GPU should easily run the game at highest settings with no problem. (Never at full load and sits at 60c when I run the game)
I also have tried the following suggestions that I found in various websites.
1. Turning off the vsync in game and use nvidia experience's adaptive vsync
2. Lowered my graphics settings to medium( for shadow I used medium smooth)
3. Repeated # 2 without any vsync and antialiasing
4. Re installed all video drivers (clean install)
5. De-fragged my hard drive
6. Re-installed the game about 4 times (clean install)
However, the problem still persists regardless my attempts to fix it.
At this point I am really out of ideas, could you guys help me out?
I have a five year old computer.
The specs are:
i7 940 @ stock 2.93 Ghz
Nvidia EVGA GTX 570 2.5 GB single card
Patriot Gaming Series Ram 8 GB
Hitachi 2TB Hard Drive @ 7200 rpm
Screen Resolution 1920x 1080 full HD
P.S:
In general, how can a person eliminate any fps drops in huge battles in games(such as Guild Wars 2, Elder Scrolls Online, Diablo 3 and its expansion, etc), assuming internet connection is not an issue?
Is it CPU related or GPU related?
Does hard drive speed factor into this?
Thanks in advance.
